Agreed, the lead has no business and no factual basis for making that foul call - so who is going to make it, given the current mechanics? The mechanics are the same for the lead in both the two man and three man game. In the 3 man game C is looking at shooter and opposite lane. T would be looking at the entire picture, but probably focusing on his side of the lane for rebounding fouls (the same side C is looking at). Lead is still left straightlined with little help.
Hence, the mechanic should be changed to observing same side - focus needs to be on getting fouls and perhaps missing a "technical" violation. NFHS seems very concerned with rough play on FT rebounds, but the mechanic doesn't help.
